Its gonna be hard for me to explain but I made this flash image thumbnail scroller and I want each of the buttons to load a .jpg into a specific Iframe within the html they are both loaded into.

in theory, flash command:

Code:

getURL("yourURL", "target");

target = iframe name.

edit: in practice too, i just tested it..
html

Code:

<IFRAME NAME="iframeName" SRC="someFile.html" > </IFRAME>

flash

Code:

getURL("someOtherFile.html", "iframeName");

It is just reloading the html page. doing nothing in the iframe
?

I have named my iframe imageframe

and in flash the button actionsript looks like this

on (press) {getURL("http://www.fstop11.net/testing/im1.jpg","imageframe");

}

the html page is here

i see the problem..
id="imageframe"

include another tag..
name="imageframe"

Thanks a lot

One more thing, Do you know how I can make that image appear central in that frame now?

np's

images draw from the top left without being wrapped in anything.. easy way to center the image would be to link to html and use ye' old <img> method.

or perhaps to an asp file can do it dynamicaly but i know next to nothing about asp. if something dawns on me i'll be back

old <img> method? I dont understand. Im quite blank when it comes to web design
